Hello,
In the current kitchen trash chute thread, I came across the following quote:
Regarding laundry chutes, how do you handle hygiene? Are the pipes always made of antibacterial metal, or how do you clean them?
Nothing typically spills outside, but it’s also not the case that they are completely clean or free of dirt inside.
Thank you very much for your suggestions.

You always have to clean these from time to time, since something will occasionally spill or drip inside.
Wouldn’t a chute around the corner be more effective?

You see, the dryer has already taught you how to use it without even reading the manual. Maybe some things would fit better if you had done that beforehand... but hey! You never stop learning.
A 60-minute pre-dry program, then hang the clothes to dry. That’s the key. The clothes come out fluffier, lint-free, and slightly damp, saving 4-6 liters (about 1-1.5 gallons) of water per load, which would otherwise evaporate into the air instead of going down the drain. That’s how my mom has been doing it for 35 years, how I do it, and how my wife’s mom always has...
No idea why anyone would want to dry them completely in the dryer. The last bit of moisture uses the most electricity and is also the hottest. But that doesn’t make sense. The advantage of a dryer is to save effort. If I have to hang clothes anyway, why not skip the dryer altogether?

No idea how anyone came up with the idea to dry the cupboard. Others have the same issues with capitalization and grammar.
I’m going to “dry the cupboard” now.
I do it the same way: air-dry in the dryer. This removes cat hair and makes the laundry smooth and soft. Then finish drying on the drying rack. It saves electricity, is gentle on the clothes, and I can leave them hanging as long as I want. However, bed linen, towels, underwear, and socks are dried completely in the dryer.
So, we dry everything using cotton. It doesn’t shrink or get damaged. I don’t really think it’s because of the Miele machine.
However, we have a delicate drying cycle that usually takes 4-5 hours until the clothes are completely dry. I’m not sure if using the express drying cycle would cause shrinkage. I don’t dare to try it.
Regarding the topic:
A laundry chute itself would be somewhat of a luxury for me. I never even thought about having to clean it. I also can’t imagine that bacteria or mold would be an issue as long as it doesn’t get damp. Maybe just regularly blowing into it with a space heater for an hour could help?
Best regards
